Scintillon Institute congratulates A. Chakraborty and Z. Fullerton, the Grand Prize Winners of Scintillon Institute's STEM Art Contest!

A. Chakraborty's dolphin had our team doing flips at the San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering EXPO day.

Z. Fullerton's dragonfly created such a buzz at CSUSM's Super STEM Saturday that we just had to recreate it in the Shaner Lab's award winning Fluorescent Proteins.
